The tongue or language
Derived from the Hebrew word 'lashon', meaning tongue, language, or speech. In a cultural context, it is often associated with the concept of 'Lashon Hara' (evil tongue), though as a given name, it typically emphasizes the gift of communication or eloquence. It is a rare choice in the United States, occasionally used within African American communities as a modern rhythmic coinage.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Lashon in 2025.
